L K Devereux is our Artist of the Month at the Alford Craft Market Shop for January 2019.
Born and raised in Lincolnshire she is a self-taught artist gaining a great deal of her early love of drawing from her father, who was an accomplished amateur draughtsman and heraldic illustrator. Childhood stories were not simply read but drawn and the many folk tales, along with Sunday trips to various churches, old houses or any remote location in the county, inspired her fascination with all things ancient and mysterious.
Her work derives much of its drama from a love of classic pen & ink illustration. Expressive line work combined with an atmospheric tonality and sumptuous ink colouring gives the art an ethereal quality. The vast, sweeping vistas of her home county of rural Lincolnshire and the rolling wolds landscape, with its wealth of medieval churches, magnificent historic sites and rich folkloric tradition, have been and continue to be an endless source of inspiration to her.

See pics below of our Xmas Craft Market weekends. We were toasty warm thanks to the new glazed doors at the Corn Exchange and there were lots of new and lovely stalls to see and buy from. The cafe run by volunteers from the Corn Exchange Community Group was busy with delicious hot rolls and homemade cakes, and gentle acoustic music gave both weekends a touch of the festive spirit.
